CES: Best new technology on display

IN JUNE 1967, 200 exhibitors and 17,500 attendees packed into the Hilton and Americana hotels in New York for the very first Consumer Electronics Show. From that moment, the expo has been responsible for unveiling some of the most impressive products for the time including the VCR (1970), Camcorders (1981) the Nintendo Entertainment System (1985), HDTV (1998) and 3D TVs (2010). Now, in its 50th year, the world's largest consumer technology show boasts more than 3800 companies and attracts over 200,000 visitors. After a week of gazing into the future of our home, work and play, news.com.au has picked some of the latest and greatest innovations and trends. As expected, TVs were big business with LG's Signature 4K OLED W series the talk of the showroom floor.
